Synopsis: | Premiered as part of The Young Writers Festival 2007. From rural backwater to shiny new capital city in one easy move. Perfectly formed. Politically constructed. When your leader plays pin the tail on the donkey with the nation's map, the bureaucrats are bound to be moved and everyone will follow. "I don't want anything to do with it. It's a rat hole. People are only moving there because they have to. There's nothing here, it's a forgotten loggers' town". | |||||
